Course Overview
Hi everyone! My name is Gill Cleeren, and welcome to my course, Building an MVVM-Based Architecture for Xamarin Mobile Apps. I'm a. NET Solution architect at Ordina Belgium. People spend more time than ever on their mobile phones using apps. Building great apps is big business. But you'll want to build them right from the first. In this course, we are going to learn how to create a solid architecture using Xamarin and the MVVM pattern as a foundation to build maintainable and testable iOS and Android apps. Some of the major topics that we will cover include build reusable architecture, see how we can apply MVVM to Xamarin, learn about the MvvmCross framework, write unit tests to test our code. By the end of this course, you'll know how you can build your Xamarin mobile apps the right way using an architecture that is built to create maintainable and testable apps. Before beginning this course, you should be familiar with the basics of Xamarin and, of course, some C# as well. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn Xamarin with the Building an MVVM-based Architecture for Xamarin Mobile Apps course here at Pluralsight.
